Back in the old days, if something was ailing you, they’d tell you to eat the specific part of an animal that corresponded to the issue. Heart, liver, eyes, testicles—you name it. Whatever the case, just eat that animal part and you’d be cured!

Of course, that tradition has been abandoned in our “wise” and civilized culture. Today, we use supplements instead:

Can’t stand the taste of liver? No problem—take a desiccated liver supplement.

Have a thyroid issue? There’s a thyroid glandular supplement for that.

What about joint-related problems, wrinkles in your skin, or weak, brittle hair and nails? Simple—just take a collagen supplement.

Collagen is the “glue” that holds your connective tissue together. As we age, collagen production wanes, and as a result, your connective tissue literally begins to fall apart. Your skin is a good indication of that—what you see on the outside is a reflection of what’s happening on the inside.

Collagen provides numerous benefits not only for your skin, hair, nails, and joints, but also for your digestive, immune, cardiovascular, musculoskeletal, and central nervous systems. Put simply, collagen delivers powerful “anti-aging” benefits.

How Does It Work?

The specific amino acid profile of collagen stimulates collagen production within your body. Of course, different collagen sources have different properties—and therefore different effects.

Most collagen on the market is derived from cows (bovine), chickens (fowl), or pigs (porcine). Fish collagen has become increasingly popular due to its more efficient absorption, its superior wound-healing and bone-regenerating capabilities, and its potent antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties.

Combine fish collagen with bovine type I and III collagen (the primary types found in skin, bones, tendons, and ligaments) and chicken type II collagen (the main type in joint cartilage), and look out—you’ve got a powerful combo that delivers a broad spectrum of benefits.

A New Collagen Formula

I’m excited to announce a new addition to our anti-aging line of supplements: Catanzaro Supplements Collagen Formula. This is a unique animal, so to speak. Unlike many collagen products on the market, our formula is sourced from three different animals—not just one! That provides a big advantage in terms of amino acid content and the range of benefits each source offers.

In order for a collagen supplement to be truly effective, it must contain hydrolyzed collagen. Collagen molecules are simply too large to be absorbed efficiently in their whole form. They need to be hydrolyzed, or broken down into smaller chains known as collagen peptides, to work their magic.

Our formula contains hydrolyzed collagen that’s easy to digest and dissolves readily in both hot and cold liquids. Add it to your Bulletproof coffee or meal-replacement shake, mix it into oatmeal or yogurt—it’s unflavored and clean, made from grass-fed cows and wild-caught fish, and you won’t even taste it.

To get the most from our Collagen Formula, take it first thing in the morning and again before bed on an empty stomach. During times of injury or recovery, additional doses spaced throughout the day can be helpful.

If you want to preserve a youthful appearance on the outside—and maintain a strong, youthful structure on the inside—consider adding a high-quality collagen formula to your daily regimen.
